Hey guys,

Never made a dose pipe before but i have just turbo'd my mates 31 with a T3/T4 T04E and was playing around with various suggestions i found on the net but with no success, anyhow he isn't really fussed whether his dose's or not but i am about to turbo my 31 to give to my girlfriend and she really wants it to dose, so if anyone could help me out with some measurements or even better, pics..that would be awesome :rolleyes:

Thanks, Daniel.

2.5" Silicone Joiner, 2.5" or 3" wide, 17cm long piece of pipe preferably 45 degree angle, Attach to mouth of turbo, attach some memory hose to the end. It's actually the easiest thing to make, if you need measurements then you probably shouldn't be doing it :P There is no "Right" way.

Ah cheers mate, i tried a piece of short 3" steel pipe, also a reducer and short 2.5" steel pipe, and also a couple of different sized elbows, all i could seem to get was the usual compressor surge noise >_< i wasnt driving it when i tested it though, just revving it

I've fkt around with dose pipes for about a million years now.

I had the same turbo on my VL.

The best dose I could get was a 3" > 2.5" reducer to a straight pipe 11cm long with no pod on the end.

Any bends take the volume right out of it and making it longer makes it deeper.

i wasn't able to drive it as it wasn't finished yet but i was able to get it to surge pretty easily by revving it like in the video above ^ ... but i will drive it next time just to be sure.

Also what is clamped in the end of that pipe peter ?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
